1st ECWT Newsletter has been Released

The first ever newsletter of the European Centre
for Women and Technology (ECWT) is now available. ECWT is a sustainable
European multi-stakeholder partnership representing high-level expertise in
women and technology development from business, government, academia and
non-profit sectors and supporting regional innovation through leveraging
resources, research, best practices and services. CEPIS is a member of the
ECWT.

One of the ECWT commitments is to encourage more women to pursue ICT-related
studies and careers. In its newest newsletter ECWT highlights the importance of
CEPIS' most recent initiative that helped achieve this goal - the CEPIS award
for Women in ICT. The award was established in March this year at the closing
event of European e-Skills Week 2010.

ECWT is a rapidly growing organization attracting not only CEPIS but also its
Member Societies. Many have become ECWT National Point of Contacts (N-PoCs) and
team up with partners on national levels. The latest CEPIS member that has
engaged with ECWT is Asociación de Técnicos de Informática (ATI).
